It seems there was an article in the "Wall Street Journal" about a bohemian section of Paris. The article mentions how some of the young "hip" French people are called "les bobos," or bohemian bourgeoise....since the term "bo bo," as in "kickin it off da bo bo..." has been already mentioned, I thought I'd throw in a little more cultural information.

Yes, "bobos" stand for "bourgeois-bohême", and describes a category of people who are wealthy but have attitude and ideas closer to left-wing philosophy... see there
I'm not sure they would use such expressions as "Kickin’ it off da Bo-Bo" !

If I were of the "bourgeois bohême", and chillin' in the 10ieme ou 11ieme arrondissements, which I was in the process of gentrifying, I would probably say to my “yuppie” (AE term) homies, “Hey y’all…let’s flow like the BoBo’s we are, get our Pinot Grigio on, and “kick it off da Bobo, ya heard?”
